Demonstrators gathered in front of the office building ofAurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond HillPC MPP Michael Parsa’s office Monday evening to call for the province to reverse its recent decision of freezing minimum wage and cutting paid sick days.

It was part of the provincial movement ofFight $15 and Fairness- a prominent provincewide labour rights advocacy group – that has strongly opposed Ontario’s sweeping labour reform bill.

The rally in Richmond Hill was only a start, McLean said, noting that they were going to rally at all MPPs’ office around York Region to have their voices heard.

McLean said they chose Parsa’s office first because of his important role as parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, which “should put him in a position to understand the true benefits of a $15/hr minimum wage.”
